“Just keep going forward,” says Dimity Davis who, as co-founder of community platform Another Mother Runner and co-author of “Run Like a Mother,” helps women maintain their passion and commitment to running while balancing work and family life. On today's episode of The Code she'll talk to host Dr. Andrew Fix about how to carve time out for yourself even when you're being pulled in many directions. The unpredictability of life with kids is a lot to adjust to for many runners who like the strictness and repetition of a running practice. She explains how to be strategic with your time, how to give yourself grace, and the unexpected places you can fit in a workout.    Motherhood, Dimity says, can be very, very isolating. It's important to have a “third place—“ somewhere other than home and work where you can experience camaraderie with women who are experiencing all of the same things you are. She discusses the importance of in-person meetings in an increasingly digitalized world.    Ultimately, it's about self-care and self-advocacy. Join today's discussion to learn the one thing you can do at the start of each day to ensure the rest of the day is a success.    Quotes • “Women were coming at it wanting to beat depression—that's a huge thing—wanting to lose baby weight, wanting to hang out with their friends…they had a sense of agency, that they were something besides a mom, or a worker, or a sister or a daughter, or whatever. They would say, ‘I'm a runner and that's for me.'”  (12:46 | Dimity Davis)  • “Running to me felt at that time that it was still the realm of really skinny guys in split shorts at the track who were doing their drills prior and just living and dying by running and not a suburban house mom who was loving her nine-minute miles.” (13:54 | Dimity Davis) • “It's really hard because endurance athletes and runners like the strict schedule, like the repetition, love the crispness of it all, and you throw a kid in the mix and nothing's crisp anymore.'” (21:05 | Dimity Davis) • “If you can start the day taking care of yourself… and what makes you feel good, the rest of the day is just a downhill coast. And if the rest of the day goes completely bonkers and you don't get anything else done on your to-do list, you still feel good because you got that workout in.” (26:01 | Dimity Davis) • “Be an advocate for yourself. Take what you need as far as time, try to bring that self-care in as much as you can, without disrupting everything, but don't be a martyr.” (54:10 | Dimity Davis)   Links Connect with Dimity Davis: https://anothermotherrunner.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dimityontherun/ https://www.instagram.com/themotherrunner/ SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

How do you stay present as a parent while pursuing a high level of fitness? Is the idea of a “super mom” just a myth? These are just two of the myriad topics Dimity and Sarah WF touch on in this conversation with Diana Cohen—an associate professor of political science at Central Connecticut State University and author of an ongoing study on Iron Moms (AKA women who pursue Ironman triathlons as a hobby while balancing family and career). The hosts bring Diana on the podcast to broaden her scope of her study to mother runners, too, and to talk about: Diana's background as a triathlete and how she blended her passion for endurance sports with social science; Her studies of both "Iron Dads" and "Iron Moms" and the biggest differences between the genders; The pervasiveness of mom guilt and what we can do about it; The myth of the "Super Mom" and the role social media plays in perpetuating that myth, and more. Read Sarah's piece on Diana's study that recently ran on Triathlete.com . If you're training for an Ironman, have a child or children 12 or under, and you're interested in participating in the study, you can contact Diana via email.

The two talk about: how Kimber's kindergarten class usually reacts to her hand; her childhood sports pursuits and role models (hello, fastpitch softball!) why trust is such an important element of climbing, and how she builds it; how she trains for her adventures; and her impressive pull-up record (hint: it's more than 30!).
